Fitting plantation shutters, window by window
Shutters are joinery rather than a fitting, and they behave like it. Made to the opening and hung on a frame, they last decades and move with the house instead of fighting it.
The measure is the job. An opening a quarter of an inch out of square will show a wedge of light down one side, and once the panels are made there is nothing to be done about it. This is why the person who installs should be the person who measures.
Louvre size is proportion, not preference. Wide louvres on a small window swallow it; narrow louvres on a tall window look busy. We size to the opening and show you the difference before ordering.
Composite belongs in bathrooms and kitchens. Real wood swells in sustained humidity and the louvres stop closing cleanly — a failure that no amount of adjustment fixes.

FAQ
Questions people ask about plantation shutters
Hardwood or composite plantation shutters?
Hardwood for a painted or stained finish with the lightest panels and the most sizes and colors; composite for bathrooms, kitchens and anywhere with humidity, where wood can warp — composite is heavier, cheaper, and does not mind moisture. Both are made to the opening and hung on a frame. In a Middle Tennessee bathroom, composite is the honest recommendation.
How are plantation shutters mounted?
On a frame — an L-frame inside the window recess, or a Z-frame or a decorative frame on the wall face when the recess is too shallow or not square. The frame is what makes a shutter close cleanly and look built-in, and it is chosen for the window rather than from the catalog. Measuring is done by the installer, because a shutter that is a quarter inch off does not close.
